And so what if he was?? GOOD if he was – surely that just indicates he’s got more life experience to draw from. Also, recovering from a cocaine addiction takes serious character, honesty and personal development. Kudos if this is true.

Pink News should be ashamed of reporting anything from Right Wing Watch. It’s like gathering news from the crazy old guy down the road who wears a tin foil hat to stop aliens reading his mind.
You’ll be asking for his bloody birth certificate and saying he might be Kenyan and not eligible to be President next.

Of course, this is all BS.
Ever since he was in the running to become President, right at the start, there have been radical Republicans desperate to attack him, using everything they could to bring him down. This is how the radicals work, when they can’t find any dirt on someone they just invent it.

I am no fan of Obama, far from it, I think he’s done more to damage faith in American politics than any president before him, but it’s clear to me that all these nonsense ramblings are from radical Republicans who are just desperate to attack him.

If this were true, surely a journalist would be able to verify these claims by speaking to any of the many others in his peer group back then. The fact that no one has been able to corroborate this fantasy tells me she’s just another right-wing loon.

If there was even a half a grain of truth to any of this I am sure it would have been found out long before now.
Maybe someone should check this ladies bank accounts and find the money trail. Probably from the Tea Bagger party!!

I don’t believe it for a minute, especially when it comes from a right wing group. If Obama’s name had been O’Brien and white, this wouldn’t even be an issue or would any of the other racist comments coming from the republican religious nutterTea Party scumbags.

SO? I was 14 once, and, to quote Katy Perry, I kissed a girl and I liked it (she was tall and blond and gorgeous, and I maybe I was happy finally fitting into the mold I thought society wanted of me) but I couldn’t reconcile the fact that on my bedroom wall were two posters – this was the 70’s after all – one of the fabulous Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman ( the one with the new costume with arms high and a cape) as well as Lou Ferigno as The Incredible Hulk.

Thank you, Pink News, for telling us of this occurrence of homosexuality yet again being used as a slur, intended to bring down a significant figure. It’s important we are constantly reminded that such revolting things are continuing to happen, that the bigots’ attack is ceaseless.

What’s worrying is that there is a substantial portion of the United States public that is so gullible and prejudiced and dim-witted that they’ll readily and unquestioningly believe this slur.

That provides another reason for airing it and allowing it to be demolished. And I think the best demolition job so far in this thread has been that if it were true then a Republican journalist would have dug up such a fact years ago.

What an enormously stupid and “fascistic” lady. “Classmate”, she calls herself. Half The World -at least- shiver from this kind of inhumanity. Shut your mouth ! I can feel your idiotism , even here in Northern Europe.

Hit her with a $10 billion libel suit (for the cocaine and prostitution angle, not the being gay bit) and all the media that reproduce this story (including I am sorry to say Pink News). You would all have trouble claiming reasonable belief. And the suit could happen in the British courts.

The gay and drug rumours are hardly news at least in the US, where there have been numerous reports of it from independent sources; not from right wing hacks etc. This woman is not the first to come forward with this information. Larry Sinclair made a similar disclosure in 2009 re a sexual relationship with Obama (aka Barry Soetoro) and there is the report of him being a member of an long standing Chicago bathhouse called Mans Country. There was also another classmate who revealed it. You don’t necessarily have to it believe it but its certainly not news. It isn’t entirely inconceivable. Clinton smoked cannabis; it is so inconceivable that Obama might also have imbibed and has a few skeletons too? Nothing surprises me anymore.
